In this episode, I sit down with my former teammate Rebekah for a transparent conversation about the life decisions athletes are often forced to make behind the scenes. We talk about recognizing when it’s time to consider transferring, how to speak up when you’re being mistreated, navigating difficult coaches and teammates, and protecting your mental health in the middle of it all. If you’ve ever questioned whether to stay or walk away, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and real advice from athletes who have lived it.
